Washington, July 16.?Notwithstand?
ing certain statements of nowspapors,
thero are no recont developments of a
diplomatic character concerning tho af?
fairs of Cuba,and nothing whatever to give
tho least color of truth to tho rumor that
England and Germany are co-operating I
with tho ?United States in pressing upon
tho Spanish Government the policy of
abandoning her West India provinces,
with a view oither to their ? division
among tho three powers named, or their
organization into a republic under tho
protectorate, express ?r implied, of tho
said powers. Tho knowledge of such
co-operation, it is said in Washington
official circles, is oon?nod exclusively to I
private parties and to tho press that gavo
it publicity. Nor has Great Britain or
Germany - ever hinted at the co-opera?
tion of the throe powers for tho purpose 1
mentioned. On tho contrary, Great
Britain and Germany have been re?
markably careful not to offend the senti?
ment of the United States, having on re?
peated occasions declared its indexible
adherence to tho Munroo doctrine, and
both Great Britain and Germany having
officially said they will respect it. It
will bo recollected that in 1800 our Go?
vernment offered its good offices to Spain
for tho purpose of bringing to n close tho
civil war in Cuba, on certain designated
bases. Theso Spain dcolinod to accept,
but offered bases of its own, which were
declined by the United States, as incom?
patible with any practicable negotiation.
In withdrawing the offor, Spain was in?
formed that it would again ne tondcrod
whenever it oonld tend to a settlement,
upon a just and honorablo basis, of tho
unhappy contest that was devastating
Cuba, and so injuriously affecting tho
United States and Spain. Since that
time, no similar overture has been mado
by tho United States, nor has Spain inti?
mated that tho ropetition of tho offer
would be agreeable. It has been ascer?
tained, confidentially and otherwise, that
tho opinion of leading men. in Spain is
that every day tho bond that unites Cuba
with Spain becomes weaker, and that tho
soparntion of tho island from the mother
country is merely the work of time, in?
dependently of any action which may bo
taken by tho Spanish Government.
There is now no probability that Spain
will take any action, apart from arms,
for tho pacification of Cuba. Meantime
our Government is passive on tho ques?
tion, and awaits events.
New Yobk, July 17.?A curious case,
involving the constitutionality of tho
amended postage law, has beon brought
in the United States Circuit Court for
this district A gentleman offers a book
for mail transmission to Philadelphia
from this city, postage at tho old rates
being affixed, being refused, applies for
a mandamus to compel the postmaster to
roceive tho package. Tho argument of
tho applicant is that tho sundry oivil ap?
propriation bills, into which an amend?
ment incroasing the rate on third class
mail was inserted, was not tho bill rais?
ing revenue; that amendment did pro?
vide ways and means for raising revenno;
that the Senate has no constitutional au?
thority to provide measures for that pur?
pose, that being tho sole prerogative of
the House; ana tho postal amendmont
having originated with tho Senate, and
S[rafted on the bill, which was not one
or revenue purposes, is unconstitu?
tional. (.').#

The Sunday-school children of the
country have again been called upon to
provide funds for the purpose of prose?
cuting tho work on the Washington mo?
nument. The Monument Association,
recognizing the fact that the 100th year
of American independence is approach?
ing, begin to realize that the sorry and
forlorn appearance of tho unfinished |
shaft is derogatory to American honor.
The condition of the monument is dis?
graceful, but the Sunday-school children
should not be called upon to bear the
burden. Congress, instead of making
an appropriation to the Philadelphia
centennial, should have given tho
amount to the Washington Monument
Association, and by hurrying up the
work, the original design might be car?
ried out, fully and completely, by next
July.
A Shocking Mucder.?A Raleigh (N.
C.) despatch says: "A most inhuman
murder that was committed in this
County in March last bos just come to
light. Scott Partin, a white man, cut
his wife's throat, then cut her head off,
thon cut the flesh off her bones and at?
tempted to burn her body up, but did
not succeed. Then be "murdered his
little boy, a child eight months old, in
the samo manner, and buried the two
bodies in a marsh, whore they were
found last wock by infuriated neighbors.
Gov. Brogden has offered $400 reward
for him. Circumstances show that Pur
tin's father and one of bis brothers were
accessory to tho murder.
An exchange produces the startling
proposition that this earth of ours, even
if fertilized and cultivated in the most
thorough manner, is capable of sustain
not more than 100 times as many inhabi?
tants as it now contains?that with that
number reached, will come famine and
starvation. This is indeed a fearful
thought to us poor fellows whose supply
of provisions is short and who have little
or no money to buy more.
The Washington Capital tells us that
tho Washington monument, near that
city, is guarded by a man and a dog. You
would naturally suppose that this in done
to koop that splendid manifestation of
love and reverence of the American pco
plo from being stolen by so mo prowling
favor of tho grand and the beautiful in
art, but it isn't. It is done simply to
keep mischievous boys from chipping
tho blocks of stone.
A woman who attended an amateur

There is such a thing, after all, as

The cotton congress, recently in ses?
